After nearly 30 years of marriage, former NYC mayor Bill de Blasio and his wife Chirlane McCray have decided to separate. This news was announced on Wednesday, July 4th, in an interview and photoshoot with the New York Times.
According to de Blasio, he and McCray will remain living together in their Park Slope home and not end their 29-year marriage. The couple, who have two children, agreed to separate about two months ago while watching television at home. De Blasio asked his wife why she had not been "lovey-dovey" lately. This prompted a deep discussion about their relationship and eventually led to their amicable split.
De Blasio acknowledged that there were certain moments in the marriage when they should have spoken more openly to each other. "I should have asked her more often - 'Are you happy? What will make you happy? What's missing in your life?" McCray believed that she had reached a point in her marriage where she could no longer "fake" her feelings.
De Blasio also believes that his political career took a toll on his marriage. He noted that his overwhelming schedule left little room for soulful moments. Despite their separation, the couple will remain living together "for the time being".
De Blasio noted the risk he took when marrying someone who had publicly identified as a lesbian. He admitted that there were times when he wondered if he would regret his decision. McCray, on the other hand, is looking forward to her newfound freedom and living in her truth. "I just want to have fun," she said.
